Gehring on Benedict | National Catholic Reporter
Gehring on Benedict | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Benedict made Marxism popular in the Vatican again, while saying brilliant things intergrating ecomomic justice and contraception doctrines. My question is whether anyone has confronted the President with the fact that our family planning programs in the third world, including Africa, are designed to decrease the numbers of people who look like him - and to stop his own villiage and family from breeding so much, even though it is industrialization, not contraception that leads to controling population numbers - with industrialization flowing from more kids, not less. Still, he misses the boat on why most Catholics disagree with most contraception policy - and for good reason. My main observation, however, is that, with a few exceptions, Benedict was not nearly as harsh as Pope than he was as Bl. John Paul's attack dog. He still gets relativism wrong, however - but they all do. Including MSW. Its in the water at most schools of theology, even the liberal ones like Theological College.
